Rambo 3 is done in general! I've improved all parts of maTO's run, but I need to crossbreed some parts in 2 gens movies (.gmv) into one, because there are unbeatable parts and I have "disimproves" there. How to do this easily? Is it possible to do this with TAS Movie Editor?
You'd be able to "splice" them together with TAS Movie Editor, but your RNG might turn out different. It's worth a shot, though.
Let's experiment :-)

Если в игре мало лагов и нет случайных величин, то тупо Ctrl + C нужный участок Ctrl + V туда где надо и все прекрасно работает. Это так просто что я даже иногда уровни в неправильном порядке прохожу, а потом из нескольких мувиков собираю 1. А вот если лагов в игре много или что-то случайно генерируется, то не прокатит, скорее всего придется все переделывать.
По-моему кадры копируются только в пределах одного окна. Так ведь? Да и как выделить область размером в 20000 кадров из 32000 без помощи мышки? У меня от выделения 1000 столбцов кадр за кадром руки отваливаются!

Noone is perfect. I just knew that this TAS already exists, but it took time for me to find it out, where I've seen it. So probably you didn't find it, so I post it.
I found everything I could and that TAS too.

Who knows what you know except you? What if you didn't see this TAS and your resulting TAS would be slower? There would be laugh and rejection, because bad route/optimization/not used bug.
I just want to be sure that you seen existed work! Note, this TAS isn't in TASVideos database! So who knows, maybe you look into tasvideos submissions only.
This work seems to be done using Gens v2.12.
No, every TASer should look for all possible info before starting any game! You probably often hear this answer on the question: "So, google it!" (on russian: "Так загугли!").
It's good that it isn't in TASVideos database, because even me found an improve! Also I found another improve by despawning an enemy on the bridge (1:13-1:16 in the video) and not taking damage from the last one! Now the time is 01:35.17!

btw I love this game, and I complete it on real genesis during 1997+ years when I had only genesis :)

James Bond 007: The Duel seems to be the only game about James Bond for Sega Genesis. Back in the childhood, with the help of piracy, each cartridge contained up to 16 games and I played each game when I was bored. I think I would not soon remembered it, if not a trip to the cinema on Skyfall in 2012.
After 2 years, I finally decided to TAS it though not everyone likes it somehow.
This game is a platformer where you should rescue women hostages, find the bomb and escape, shooting bad guys by the way. There are 4 levels and only 1 boss in the end of the game.
I've done the 1st level: User movie #18356009097307342
Input goes further, but it can be finished on the frame 5764-5765 so the time is 01:36.08.
Everything is OK? I didn't find any special tricks because it seems there is no any, but if you found, tell me, please! Anyway, a topic with no answers is better than none.

Я протасил одну игру для чувака, хобби которого является хак NES-игр. Он собирается через пару месяцев забросить этот хакинг и, поэтому, предложил сделать хак на любую игру, какую я захочу! Я играл во множество популярных/непопулярных/японских игр, а также видел разнообразные хаки игр, которые все знают. Кароче я не знаю что попросить! У кого какие желания? Хак какой игры вы бы хотели увидеть и поиграть? Как он сам говорит, он занимается хакингом 2 года; глобальный хак может сделать, но всевозможность не гарантируется!

Это хорошо, но стоит приводить примеры лишь на FCEUXe. Ну так слайд-шоу - это множество принтскринов! Тем более, что их надо загружать на Яндекс/Мэил.ру/Гугл, а потом только кидать ссылку в reply на этом сайте.

Загрузка это образно! Если бы мой комп не был столь ограничен в установке програм, я бы сделал слайд-шоу принципа того, что я написал.
При чем здесь TAS Editor? Я тебе написал как прийти к правильному кадру откуда можно начать копировать инпут! Включаешь "frame advance skips lag frames" в настройках Input... , перематываешь мувик и останавливаешь перед началом последнего уровня, нажимаешь кнопку frame advance, жмешь еще раз и вот тебе правильный кадр! Если тебе нужен нормальный TAS Editor, как на FCEUX - смени эмулятор на BizHawk, но он с GENS-rerecording инпут копировать не может!

В большенстве игр, т.е. во всех уровневых играх без исключения, как правило, происходит "загрузка" перед началом каждого уровня и в самом конце уже пройденого уровня! Этой "загрузкой" называется период перехода от одного уровня к другому, т.е погасание изображения (например, после того, как ты босса завалил и проиграла победная музыка) и появление изображения нового уровня. Эта "загрузка" является "lag frames" (загрузочными кадрами). Когда идут такие кадры, приставка не читает твой инпут и именно поэтому в большенстве эмуляторов есть функция автопропуска таких кадров в покадровом режиме (frame advance) и называется "frame advance skips lag frames" (может быть написано как-то по-другому). Если ты включишь эту функцию и перейдешь в покадровый режим во время этой самой "загрузки", то после повторного нажатия клавишы frame advance (перехода на следующий кадр) инпут перемотается сразу на начало нового уровня и следующий кадр уже будет действующим!
Напомню, что frame advance является неотъемлемой частью создания ТАСов, как инструмент выполнения действий в первый же возможный момент и, если этому не следовать, то твой твой ТАС обязательно отклонят!

Haven't watched the run, but I wanted to say that it's awesome how many people are welcoming LaryDLobster to the community and treating him kindly. This is just one reason why I like this community so much.
edit: Perhaps it would also be a good idea to make more clear that TASvideos isn't a leaderboard record site (Top 10 rankings, etc.).
From my experience as a member of this community, I discovered that feedback (also the number of it) depends on game's popularity and strangeness of final time (you may know what I mean).

Writing from tablet:
Improve is done, about a second faster. I have no internet connection on my PC for now and have no OTG cable to upload the movie to the tablet and then upload to TASVideos. Will upload it tomorrow anyway.
No improve found to platforms on level 1. Moreover, up/down platforms became more uncomfortable for speed gaining because I improved some frames from dropping from ledges, so I changed jumping input a little. Level 2, using Dooty's script, was improved on rock conveyor (also droppings).
Can also re-encode the movie if you want!

Here's a Lua script that may help if you want to avoid those "droppings";
gui.register( function ()
local pos = memory.readword(0xFF12C0)
local spd = memory.readbytesigned(0xFF12C5)
gui.text(10,40,"X Speed: "..spd)
gui.text(10,50,"X Posit: "..pos)
end)
Where should I enter this code? GENS asks for a Gens Lua Script.

In the NES version, you can manipulate the spawn side of the enemies at the end of 1-1. I have a feeling that your strategy is sub-optimal, just like the published NES tas.
They are different ports on different engines. I don't think so. I tried some position changes, but enemies anyway spawn from both sides.
